Charles Andrade created a “Sun Temple” in Carbondale, Colorado when he Lazured the new school building and painted a large, beautiful mural at the entrance. The glowing colors and transitional shadings were magnificent. The Waldorf School on the Roaring Fork has since grown to be a thriving, multi-building campus that powerfully exemplifies the beauty and healing force of Lazured spaces. I have continued to recommend Charles’ artistic abilities and masterful sense of color to friends and colleagues around the world and never known anyone to be disappointed!
